Dawn Spider

"Lord Mukui, I've always heard that the Southern Continent is dangerous. Are you saying it's really unsafe?"

"Divided into regions..."

Lord Mukui pondered for a moment, then gestured with his antennae and explained in detail: "In Black Mountain, there is a continental map jointly drawn by many insect kings, which I have been fortunate enough to see."

"The Land of the Undying is located in the center of the Zhibai Continent. Combined with the Thunder Domain in the south and the Ice Domain in the north, it divides the continent into two large regions, the east and the west."

"The eastern part of the Zhibai Continent is currently uninhabited by ferocious beasts and is inhabited by Zerg warriors. It spans approximately 5000 kilometers from north to south and 1500 to 3500 kilometers from east to west."

"The eastern part of the continent can be further divided into the Northeast Region, the Eastern Region, and the Southeast Region."

"The Hunter Alliance of Zhibo Continent was established to deal with the Undead Beasts, so its headquarters, Black Mountain, is located in the central Eastern Region, the closest place to the Land of the Undead."

"The Eastern Region is not so safe..."

"The ferocious beasts can also evolve by using Force food. This is the main reason why they attacked the Zerg tribes after they gained power."

"The Undead Beasts are even more special. For them, the flesh and blood of Zerg warriors are high-quality food that can enhance their strength. Therefore, the Undead Beasts' attacks on Zerg tribes are the most frequent and ferocious."

"Moreover, as I said before, the undead are more intelligent and have more developed minds. They don't foolishly charge into the Zerg tribes. They are used to wandering around in groups of three or five, hunting for food, and specifically targeting lone Zerg warriors for attack."

"They possess super-sensitive Force perception and olfactory tracking abilities. They even know how to hide near tribal settlements, waiting for Zerg warriors to be alone before striking."

The caravan's Flame Spider warriors had explained the situation in the Eastern Region to Jin in detail, and it was completely consistent with Lord Mukui's description.

Lord Mukui really wanted to take on this well-paid job, which is why she told Jin so much.

Unexpectedly, the other party was an impatient person and wanted to do it right away.

Lord Mukui advised again, "Jin, I can sense that your strength is extraordinary. However, the business you are about to undertake requires you to travel all over the country, and it is inevitable that you will encounter undead beasts."

"Since you don't lack resources, there's no need to rush, right? I suggest you evolve a few more times before considering it."

"There's no rush, I'm just curious..."

Jin Hanhu replied, then asked, "Lord Mukui, you often travel among the various races on the continent, you must have encountered undead beasts, right?"

"I've run into him before..."

Lord Mukui said, "Our Moss Stick Insect tribe is one of the most skilled races in disguise and stealth, especially in the jungle. Wherever we go, we leave no scent or trace of energy, and we cannot be tracked."

"Even if we encounter them, we can easily escape thanks to our superb disguise and concealment skills."

He's truly a genius!

Jin confidently said, "Lord Mukui, if you encounter trouble, as long as you can get out of it on your own, you'll be fine. I also have my own life-saving skills, I'll show them to you later, and you'll understand as soon as you see them."

Before anyone could object, Jin followed up with, "Lord Mukui, how is the security situation on the Zhibai Continent?"

"Public security?"

Lord Mukui didn't quite understand.

Jin rephrased, "Besides the ferocious beasts, there should also be a threat from the Zerg warriors, right? For example, some Zerg might ambush and rob people on the road?"

"This is not."

"On the mainland, those carrying food made of the Force are definitely groups of lord-level warriors. To rob someone on the road requires extraordinary skills; those with such skills would not be reduced to robbing people on the road."

Lord Mukui said, "It mainly involves conflicts and feuds between tribal forces, with each side hunting down the other's warriors. In more serious cases, the conflict escalates into direct tribal wars."

"As far as I know, tribal conflicts are usually caused by raw stone deposits. Such cases are only a minority. Jin, you are an outsider here to do business, so you shouldn't get involved in this kind of trouble."

"understood."

Jin concluded, "If I were to come to the Zhibo Continent to make a deal, the biggest threat would be the Undying Beast."

"That's pretty much it."

Lord Mukui tapped his antennae and said, "Next is the Thunder Beast, but the Thunder Beast is relatively easier to deal with. You have also awakened a lightning talent, so you should not be afraid of the Thunder Beast."

"Don't be afraid!"

Jin changed the subject and asked, "Lord Mukui, your Moss Stick Insect tribe should live in the tropical region of the Northeast, right?"

"Yes."

Lord Mukui explained in detail: "West of Binyu Port, slightly south, more than two thousand kilometers away, lies Tongmu Mountain. Besides me, there are only two Mountain Lord-level warriors and one high-level Moss Stick Insect warrior, which doesn't even qualify as a tribe. There are many other small and micro tribes similar to ours living in the nearby mountains. All in all, there are more than three hundred warriors, united and helping each other, watching out for one another."

Similar to the situation in the central and northern parts of Ivory Island, under the pressure of survival, different Zerg races came together to form settlements. The difference is that the continent of Zhibo is vast, with expansive wild jungles, resulting in more Zerg warriors born in the wild, and the settlements formed are much larger, often consisting of hundreds of Zerg warriors.

The Zerg warriors in these settlements who possess the God-given Seed of Fate are all potential loan customers!
The problem is that these loan customers not only face the risk of failing to break through, but also the risk of being attacked and killed by ferocious beasts.

Jin asked, "Lord Mukui, the Northeast Region is relatively safe, isn't it? Your settlement isn't frequently attacked by ferocious beasts, is it?"

Lord Mukui replied, "Our location is not good; we are attacked by thunder beasts several times almost every year. What's more troublesome is that every time the thunder domain erupts, it triggers a rampage of thunder beasts, which causes us to suffer considerable damage."

gold:"……"

It sounds like the situation on the southern continent is even more dire than the old flame spiders of the caravan described.

Jin pondered for a moment, then asked, "Lord Mukui, you should know about White Shark Harbor, right?"

"of course I know!"

Lord Mukui said, "I heard that it was a trading port built by your insectoid warriors on the northern twin islands a long time ago. Now it has developed into a more prosperous free trade market than Binyu Port."

"Yes."

Jin said, "Our merchant ships' navigation and trading plan is to stop at Binyu Port for 10 days for trading, then set sail south along the strait to Baisha Port, where we will stop for trading for a month. Then we will turn around and head to Haidiao Port on the southern coast of the eastern part of Zhibai Continent."

Jin asked, "I plan to go to Black Mountain to visit the Black Demon Insect King and the Divine Seed of Zhibai that you mentioned, and then quickly return to meet up with the Merchant Guild. Lord Mukui, do you think it's more appropriate to depart from Binyu Port or Baisha Port?"

Lord Mukui replied, "Of course, it's faster to depart from White Shark Harbor."

"Alright, let's set off from White Shark Harbor."

Jin then asked, "Eight days should be more than enough time to travel to your Tongmu Mountain and back, right?"

Lord Mukui replied, "Of course."

Jin picked up two large bags of fertilizer and said, "This is my first time on the Zhibai Continent, and I'm very curious about the local customs and insects. Lord Mukui, shall I go with you and visit Tongmu Mountain as well?"

Lord Mukui hesitated before agreeing, "No problem..."

Jin said, "Let's go! Let's go back to the plaza. I'll say hello to the Kashiwa Spider King."

...

...

The Coast Tiger Armor Tribe is a top-tier clan.

Upon arriving at the port of the Wood Spider King, I immediately went up the mountain to visit the Spider King in charge of the Coast Tiger Armor Tribe to discuss this year's Force food trade.

After reaching an agreement, they chatted for half a day before returning to the trading square late at night to rejoin the main group.

"The King of the Kashi Tree Spiders!"

Jin stepped forward to greet them.

"?"

The Kashiwa Spider King sent a questioning mental message.

Jin introduced, "This is Lord Mukui."

"Meet the Kashiwa Spider King!"

Lord Mukui greeted him nervously.

Jin then added, "I plan to go with it to Tongmu Mountain to see the scenery of the Southern Continent. We'll return on time before the merchant ship departs."

"What about granular fertilizer?"

The King Spider asked, "You're not selling the granular fertilizer anymore?"

"There aren't many insects to buy~"

Jin said, "King Kashimo Spider, you arrange for the spiders to help manage things a bit. I'll give you a 5% commission later."

"Um--"

The King Spider readily agreed, waving its claws and saying, "Go. Return quickly, lest you delay the merchant ship's voyage." (End of Chapter)
